- St. Louis is not as good as they looked last week against a bad Roughnecks team.
- St. Louis’ home-field advantage has not always yielded results against the spread when the BattleHawks have been favored.
Considering the teams’ performances in Week 1, the St. Louis BattleHawks appear to have the upper hand heading into this game. Their balanced offense and a defense that effectively contained their Week 1 opponent, position them favorably. Additionally, playing at home in front of a supportive crowd provides an extra boost.
On the other hand, the San Antonio Brahmas faced difficulties, particularly on offense, where they struggled to find rhythm and efficiency in their opener. The defense will need to make significant adjustments to contain the BattleHawks’ multifaceted attack.
However, we are going to take the points with San Antonio in this matchup. We expect more from them offensively in this game and for St. Louis’ home-field advantage to give us inflated lines to bet against for now.
